Workplace charging and its benefits

Make your workplace part of your EV charging network.

Workplace and depot charging can be one of the most valuable parts of a fleet charging strategy.

It gives drivers access to convenient charging where vehicles already spend time, while helping businesses reduce reliance on public charging.

For fleets, workplace charging can support:

  • lower charging costs
  • improved vehicle availability
  • better driver convenience
  • simpler charging access for employees
  • more control over site energy use

But as workplace charging grows, so does the need for better data, access control and reporting.

The workplace charging data problem

Workplace charging creates a new management challenge.

Installing workplace chargers is only the first step.

Fleet managers also need to understand who is charging, when they are charging, how much energy they are using and how that charging should be paid for.

Without connected workplace charging data, businesses can struggle with:

  • limited visibility of site usage
  • unclear driver or vehicle attribution
  • manual reporting from different systems
  • difficulty charging employees for private use
  • fragmented data across home, workplace and public charging

This can make workplace charging harder to manage as the number of EV drivers grows.

Mileage split​

Supporting Private and Business Mileage Split​

Many company car drivers use the same vehicle for both business and private travel.​

Paua Reimburse supports this by enabling fleets to reimburse only the electricity used for business driving, while excluding private use where required.​

This helps organisations:​

  • apply clear reimbursement policies ​
  • align with HMRC guidance ​
  • maintain transparent records for finance teams ​

Drivers input business trip data and provide total odometer to complete their claim; this provides employers the data necessary to separate business and private mileage.

Company car drivers often use their vehicle for both work and private travel.​

Paua Reimburse enables fleets to separate business and private charging, so only business energy is reimbursed.​

This supports:​

  • fair reimbursement for drivers
  • clear company policies
  • alignment with HMRC guidance
  • transparent audit records

Total home charging

Collected daily from home charger

Business charging
